Sleepy Dad
Bucky watched Sam snoring like a chainsaw. Sprawled on their bed, little Nat just curled up next to him, Bucky thought he could watch them forever. That was, until he felt a yawn coming on, the energy crashing as whatever leftover adrenaline he had from helping Sarah out on the boat today dissipated.
Bucky hadn't been sure if he should be a dad. But when Sam and Bucky found their little Skrull baby all alone in that spaceship, something in him and Sam just... ignited.
And for the most part, they'd been scrambling as they learned about what they needed to do to take care of a Skrull child. But they'd finally figured it out. Figured out enough, at least. Their new normal with little Natasha.
"Are you just going to stand there looking at us like a creep or are you joining us in the nap, babe?" mumbled Sam, eyelids drooping, a dopey grin on his face showing off the beautiful gap in his teeth, "I know you have a staring problem, but this is ridiculous."
"Fine, fine. I'm coming in since you insisted so nicely," said Bucky as he dressed down, putting on pajama pants and keeping on his undershirt, crawling into bed on the opposite side of Nat, wrapping an arm around her and Sam, all three of them settling in, finding a comfortable position.
"Sarah good today?" asked Sam, Bucky already hearing him starting to fall back to sleep.
"She is. She says hi and to not overwork yourself," said Bucky through another yawn.
"Note taken," said Sam, his last word drifting, replaced by the boat revving snores Bucky had grown to love.
"Love you both," said Bucky quietly.
Like he didn't always say it Sam and Nat every chance he got.
Sam continued snoring like a jackhammer. Nat nestled closer to Sam, as she always did. And Bucky let his heavy eyelids close, happy to be home with his family.
